The takeover of GM
is just one step toward the leftists' long-term goal - a "carless"
society.

As Michael Moore
says in his article, "Goodbye, GM," June 1, 08, "The things we call
cars may have been fun to drive, but they are like a million daggers into the
heart of Mother Nature.To continue to build them would only lead to the
ruin of our species and much of the planet."

Michael Moore
continues by outlining several steps he would ask President Obama to implement.
Below are three of those steps.

"Thus, as GM is 'reorganized' by
the federal government and the bankruptcy court, here is the plan I am asking
President Obama to implement for the good of the workers, the GM communities,
and the nation as a whole... Number 1. Just as President Roosevelt did after the
attack on Pearl Harbor, the President must tell the nation that we are at war
and we must immediately convert our auto factories to factories that build mass
transit vehicles and alternative energy devices…. The products built in the
factories of GM, Ford and Chrysler are some of the greatest weapons of mass
destruction responsible for global warming and the melting of our polar
icecaps."

Number 4: "Initiate a program to
put light rail mass transit lines in all our large and medium-sized cities.
Build those trains in the GM factories. And hire local people everywhere to
install and run this system."

Number 5: "For people in rural areas not served by the train lines, have the GM
plants produce energy efficient clean buses." [Can you imagine
catching a bus in a rural area to go buy groceries, to buy parts to repair farm
equipment, house repairs, for doctor appointments, etc. especially for the
elderly]

Recently, May 17,
09, our Arkansas state paper, Arkansas Democrat Gazette, published an
article taken from the New York Times entitled: "Residents of German
district adopt car - free lifestyle" The first paragraph reads,

"Residents of this upscale
community [Vauban] are suburban pioneers, going where few soccer moms or
commuting executives have ever gone before: They have given up their car...
Vauban, completed in 2006, is an example of a growing trend in Europe, the
United States and elsewhere to separate suburban life from auto use, as a
component of a movement called "smart planning."

The following quote
from the article exemplifies the gist of the article:

"'When I had a car I was always
tense. I'm much happier this way,' said Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and
mother of two, as she walked verdant streets where the swish of bicycles and the
chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor.

Now just why would
an Arkansas paper print such an article with such a positive slant? Even the
word "car - free" in the headline indicates a positive slant to doing away
with cars. Isn't it the beginning of preparing people for just this lifestyle of
a "carless" society like leftists always do when they start their propaganda for
a change they plan to implement? Remember a number of years ago when liberals
started talking about the advantages of a nationalized health care, it was
originally rejected with venom. Now it is so acceptable that people who oppose
it are called radicals.

Taking over the
auto makers will exponentially increase the price of cars. The government has
never run anything efficiently. The new fuel - efficiency and tailpipe - emissions
standards will drive auto prices even higher. Then the alternative fuels
required will make driving a car so expensive that people will no longer be
able to afford them.

We can then be like the third world
countries that all of us have dreamed about living in. And we won't be that mean
old country that uses more than our share of the world's energy. And Obama and
the leftists will no longer have to apologize to other countries for our
nation's indulgence. And no one in the other countries will be any better off.
We will just be reduced to their poverty as we burn up our food for alternate
fuel. And all that will be called PROGRESS.

Then who will help all those countries during their times of crisis as our mean
old country has so many times for so many years?

Brummett Says Amen To A World Without Cars

(Somehow I never pictured Brummet advocating the Amish lifestyle)

I recently sent out
an email entitled "Lefitists push for society without cars," quoting from a
Michael Moore article and from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette and New
York Times. John Brummet wrote an article in response to that email.
Brummet used about one third of his article to attack the messenger, describing
me and other conservatives in his typical liberal, genteel, unbiased, and
tolerant manner as extreme, delusional, zany, right - wing, paranoid, fear
-
mongering, screeching, conspiratorial alarmists - for being concerned about the
leftists' push to do away with our cars. Link to
my article:
http://www.wpaag.org/Obama%20 - %20Carless%20Society.htm

(By the way, John,
in your world I am probably considered zany. But in my world, you are the zany
one. And on this issue of doing away with our cars in the name of sustainable
transportation and global warming, I believe I have at least 85% of the people
in my corner.)

Brummett, then in
the typical double speak language of liberals, confirms the information in the
article I wrote was indeed true. In his words: " Let me be candid: I know some
liberals very well and these expressions of Michael Moore reflect exactly how
they talk among themselves. They believe government policy can compel
better and more responsible human behavior and force us, if that’s what
it takes, to operate more co - operatively and efficiently [doing without cars].
They think cars are destructive to the earth both in what is required to run
them and in what they emit." Link to
Brummet's article
http://arkansasnews.com/2009/06/06/world - without - cars - amen/

And why are we
right wingers nutty for being alarmed about this matter? Because according to
Brummett, "[T]hese kinds of things take time." So we need not worry. Brummet
also says "[T]he only substantive advocacy I've see for doing away with American
automobile travel on anything resembling a short term basis - - a fine ifutopian idea, generally impractical and specifically out of the question
- was an essay of typical agitprop by the liberal documentary filmmaker, Michael
Moore."

Brummet describes
all the liberal policies quite well in that statement, "utopian , impractical
and out of the question" . But we are now seeing utopian, impractical, and
out of the question policies being implemented en masse at every turn
-
using force and coercion - since the Democrats took control; so that is no
longer anything new. The liberals have now shown their hand to the world, and
all but the leftists are shocked. So referring to our conspiracy theories
doesn't have quite the ring it did before the leftist started playing their
hand. I have been thinking about writing about this push for a "carless"
society for more than a year but didn't write on it for just that reason
- that
it might not be believable. But now it is.

And how can
liberals talk about conservatives being fear mongers when the liberals are using
the biggest fear tactic in history under the guise of sustainable
development, sustainable transportation, smart growth transportation, and global
warming in orderto coerce people to yield to government control,
higher taxes, and exorbitant increases in the price of energy?

And since Brummet
is only aware (or so he says) of one substantive advocacy for the world
without cars on a short term basis ( Michael Moore's article), let me provide
some research on that matter. Some liberals may only be talking about a world
without cars, but others are hard at work. Follow the links below (or google the
words in bold in the former paragraph) and you will find numerous articles that
show how rapidly the plan to do away with cars, which Michael Moore described
in his essay, is being developed.

*"The Smart Growth Network is a partnership between the EPA [United
States Environmental Protection Agency] and a number of nonprofit,
public, and governmental organizations working together to raise public
awareness and promote smart growth principles. In its popular first volume of
the manual Getting to Smart Growth, released in 2001 (a second volume was
released in 2003), the Smart Growth Network suggested that towns should return to the designs of
the early twentieth century. In those earlier times, land uses were more
integrated, enabling people to walk to the corner store, to work, or to school.
Today, such uses are more often placed so far apart they can only be reached by
car. Numerous communities have sought to reverse this trend.
Portland,
Oregon, is an oft - touted model of
sprawl containment. The city established an “urban growth boundary” in 1980 that
protects nearby farmland surrounding the city and tightly limits development in
outlying areas.
Portland’s approach has not been
without controversy. From "Sprawl, The New Manifest Destiny? By Charles W.
Schmidt 2004"

* “Three things change people’s behavior at the
societal level,” says Rees. “One is price; more good has been done by high
energy prices about moving us towards thinking about sustainability than all the
policy that any government anywhere has implemented in the last 10 years. Higher
energy prices create real behavioral change.”

Note: Many leftists are celebrating the higher gas prices and are not concerned
in the least that alternate fuel will cost so much. It will only enhance their
chances to move faster toward doing away with our cars and saving Mother Earth.
